Readable code is important? Then keep in mind the context: low-level programming and writing Safe Rust or writing in some not-quite-memory-safe language because one would rather be bitten by undefined behavior now and again rather than have to learn the borrow checker. Knowing for sure that the code you write is at least memory safe is a certain kind of readability win and I don’t see how anyone can claim that it’s not.
